Comment (not reviewing) The hook quote is only in the reference, not in the article. Also it should probably be '...their use in Bahrain a "pioneering experiment"' not '...their use a "pioneering experiment" in Bahrain' (I'm full of helpful tips; no actual help, but lots of tips).

The phrase in the wiki article has been changed from successful experiment to "pioneering experiment" as a quotation. The source article says "pioneering experiment in Bahrain" so I'm not going to change the hook word order at this time. If someone else wants to pull out the quotation marks to include "in Bahrain," that works. -QuakerSquirrel (talk) 13:26, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
Overall: Article is long enough, well cited and recently moved to mainspace at the time of nomination. I changed the word order of the hook per Belle's suggestion. The hook is allowed to paraphrase as long as the meaning is unchanged and that way seems more natural. Besides, if it were a verbatim quote all of it should be in quotation marks to indicate that. Earwig picked up some false positives but its all names of organizations, programs and awards, not actual copyvio. I made minor tweaks to the page to clean it up.
